I'm just a faded negative of the image I used to be. Just a shadow...and that's our dilemma

In the richest country in the world, you shouldn't be afraid to leave your corporate job and start that small business you've been dreaming of simply because you can't afford to lose your healthcare. Medicare for All is good for business.

I can’t believe it has been one year since Melissa and her husband, Mark, were taken from us. Melissa was not only my dear friend, but she was also a remarkable woman whose strength and compassion left an unforgettable mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

"You're a masked agent kidnaping people wearing my f*cking uniform! Bringing shame to it!" -Bobby, a U.S. veteran, yells at militarized ICE agents after they just tear gassed protesters outside Delaney Hall ICE prison. Our @JTCestkowski reports LIVE ⬇️

No corporate PAC money. No AIPAC money. No shell funds or Super PACs backed by Trump megadonors. Together, we've built a grassroots movement that can compete with millions of dollars from out-of-state special interests. I couldn't be more proud.

Something for the gun control crowd to kind of think on. 1. Gun control was only ever enacted to keep Black ppl from owning them. 2. There are close to 30-MILLION AR-style rifles in the United States owned by civilians. There is no putting that genie back in the bottle.

BREAKING: Marine Corps Veteran Graham Platner is officially the Democratic Nominee for US Senate in Maine. VoteVets will continue to back Platner in his fight to unseat Susan Collins and flip control of the Senate back into the hands of the Democratic Party.

To all of you young people right now, for most of your life, we've been at war. When you were 7 or 8, you watched your parents or a friend's parents lose a home in a financial crisis caused by a bunch of banks who never quite paid the price. The internet was a ubiquitous part of your life. 1/

Los Angeles County literally has a fully transparent vote counting process - the entire count is livestreamed online. This commitment to transparency makes zero difference, mainstream press still credulously repeats GOP info bubble claims of fraud anyway.

There is something happening in Texas. We are uniting Texans on one team to take back our state and take back our country. We will end 30 years of one party rule in this state and elect a Senator who is going to serve the people, not billionaire mega-donors.
